Caroline Berckmans'

Daughters of the American Revolution

1940 Certificate

        Offered here is a piece that will surely interest an early Augusta National collector. Bobby Jones' famous Augusta National property was purchased from the Berckmans family in 1931. This included the Berckmans family home, Fruitland Manor, which is now known throughout the world at the Augusta National clubhouse. The Berckmans family didn't just sell the land to Augusta National, they did the original landscaping for the course and received Masters tickets to the first few Masters Tournaments.

        Presented here is an original 1940 Daughters of the American Revolution certificate issued to the Berckmans daughter, Caroline, who was a fixture at early Masters Tournaments.
